The
Italian-University Nano-Electronics Team (IU.NET) is a
national Inter-University Consortium promoted by ARCES,
with the aim of strengthening the traditional academic
approach to the international competition in strategic
sectors of scientific research. In response to the growing
need of networking, this Consortium connects research
units currently active at the forefront of Nanoelectronics
at the Universities of Bologna, Ferrara, Modena-Reggio
Emilia, Padova, Pisa, Roma "La Sapienza", Udine, and at
the Polytechnic of Milano.
Since the transistor discovery, the progress in Electronics
has been predominantly fueled by advances in integrated-circuits
fabrication technology. However, the increasing investment
costs of manufacturing facilities restricts the share
of leading-edge technology to a relatively-small number
of major industrial players worldwide. Besides, the changing
conditions of the national and European policy to fund
academic research strongly suggest a deep re-thinking
of the organizing model of scientific research. Under
such circumstances, it appears necessary that academic
Labs operate in a coordinated fashion in order to achieve
the critical mass and the visibility which are needed
to successfully operate in such a highly-competitive environment,
and to interact with the external world (European Commission,
Multinational Corporations) with a unique interface.
IU.NET aims to represent a scientific and technological
offer coordinated in the area of Nanoelectronics, with
a special reference to the activities of modeling, simulation,
design, characterization, and reliability of nanometric-size
electron devices.
Prof. Enrico Sangiorgi is the Managing Director of the
IU.NET Consortium.

The Applied & Computational Algebraic Topology (ACAT) Avanced School
will be held in Bologna on May 25-26, 2012.
The school will be followed by the 4th International Workshop on Computational Topology in Image Context (CTIC 2012), that will be held in Bertinoro on May 28-30, under the patronage of ARCES.
